Personal Shopper

A celebrity-serving personal shopper is haunted by ghostly goings on and the death of her twin brother in this riveting supernatural thriller. Stewart delivers a bewitching performance in a gripping portrait of solitude and grief. Winner of the Best Director at 2016’s Cannes Film Festival.

‘Olivier Assayas’s Personal Shopper is stylish, mysterious and very strange. It is a ghost story and suspense thriller, yet also a sympathetically realist portrait of numbed quarterlife loneliness’ ★★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

‘Kristen Stewart excels in this strange, surprising and occasionally sublime film…when it comes to projecting anguish and ambiguity, there is no one better than Kristen Stewart.’ ★★★★ Manuela Lazic, Little White Lies
